Sir — This refers to the article, “What about the Right to Good GovernanceIJ” (July 8) by Joginder Singh. It is important to point out that all the ‘rights’, whether it is Right to Education, Right to Food, Right to Information, and not the least the Right to Water, are nothing but electoral gimmicks.
Prudent policy planning is most often not followed by its efficient implementation, which urgently calls for effective governance (something that is sorely lacking today). Will our leaders heed the mandatory sequel to ensure these ‘rights’ do not remain largely on paperIJ
